Justice Department launches grand jury probe of N.Y. Attorney General Letitia James
Briefly

The U.S. Department of Justice is conducting a federal grand jury investigation into New York Attorney General Letitia James. This follows her successful civil fraud case against President Trump, resulting in significant financial penalties related to fraud. The investigation, led by the top federal prosecutor in Albany, seeks to gather more information about her lawsuit. Allegations suggest that James may have infringed upon Trump and his adult children's rights during the case, raising concerns over potential political motivations and legal implications of the DOJ's actions.
"Investigating the fraud case Attorney General James won against President Trump and his businesses has to be the most blatant and desperate example of this administration's carrying out the president's political retribution campaign."
"Weaponizing the Department of Justice to try to punish an elected official for doing her job is an attack on the rule of law and a dangerous escalation by this administration."
